NY City

New York level render

NY City is a level featured in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. It was never used in following installments, except the Banks part appearing in THUG Manhattan level.

Origin

Based on the Big Apple, this level features a small part of Riverside park, the area reffered to as the Pit, railroad and Brooklyn Banks. The crossing streets in this level are Riverside and 125th, however, they never cross like this in reality.

Level specific

• The player has to collect 5 subway token in order to access the railway.
• From time to time, the player may hear a gunshot and a woman's scream afterwards.
• Taxis, which are driving across the map, allow the player to perform the Car Plant trick. The taxi drivers will yell at your skater if they hit them.
• Brooklyn Banks is a large secret area that can be accessed by the railway.
• The Railway is more than active, as there are trains driving in both directions.
• Fun Fact: The trains do not disappear after they enter the subway, but keep following a looped path beyond the map. In the Playstation port, they are hidden from the player due to low draw distance, but on PC, it is easy to notice the trains floating in the night sky.
• It's rather tricky, but the player can actually perform a Train Plant off of the trains.
• New York is the only level set at night in THPS2.
